Intel's UCIe-S Hits 48 Gb/s on 22nm, Beats 3nm EMIB
Intel demonstrated a UCIe-S die-to-die interconnect on 22nm hitting 48 Gb/s/lane over standard organic substrate, beating a 3nm EMIB design with 3× higher data rate and 2.8× higher bandwidth density. This signals a strategic shift away from EMIB for Intel's own products toward UCIe over substrate.
Nvidia B200 Costs $6,400 to Produce, Gross Margin Hits 82%
Epoch AI estimates Nvidia's B200 GPU costs $5,700–$7,300 to produce, with HBM memory and advanced packaging accounting for two-thirds of the cost. At a $30k–$40k sale price, chip-level gross margins reach ~82%, though rack-scale margins may be lower.
Foxconn to Mass-Produce 10,000+ CPO Optical Switches for AI in Q3 2026
Foxconn's manufacturing arm will begin volume production of advanced co-packaged optics (CPO) switches in Q3 2026, targeting over 10,000 units. This move directly addresses the critical bandwidth and power bottlenecks in next-generation AI data center infrastructure.
Nvidia Invests $2B in Marvell to Expand NVLink Fusion Chip Partnership
Nvidia is investing $2 billion in Marvell Technology to deepen their partnership on NVLink Fusion, a chip-to-chip interconnect crucial for scaling AI training clusters. This strategic move aims to secure supply and accelerate development of high-bandwidth links between GPUs and custom AI accelerators.
The Invisible Dance: How AI Chip Manufacturing Relies on Microscopic Wire Bonding
High-speed semiconductor wire bonding creates thousands of electrical connections per minute using ultra-fine 25-micron wires. This critical but often overlooked process enables the AI chips powering today's most advanced systems.
Apple's M5 Pro and Max: Fusion Architecture Redefines AI Computing on Silicon
